Fortuna steps in to face Cruz

Unbeaten featherweight prospect Javier “El Abejon” Fortuna (19-0, 14 KOs) will step in to face former IBF featherweight champion Cristobal “Lacandón” Cruz (39-13, 23 KOs) on July 6, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and televised live on ESPN Friday Night Fights. An injury to original main event participant Marvin Sonsona left an opening on the Sampson Boxing and Greg Cohen Promotions show entitled “The Moment of Truth”, which Fortuna and Cruz have eagerly jumped in to fill.
